[Kusa looks like she is standing in plain of white. In reality she is just standing on her bed and she is now itty bitty. She was vertically challenged to begin with, but this is ridiculous.]

Um... Can I get a little help? I know other Apprentices have been shrunk but I'm a bit stuck right now. I was on my bed when it happened and now the floor is a long way down. [This would have never happened if she slept in a futon instead of a bed...]

Sorry for being such a bother, but can someone help me get down?

Kusa! Hey!

[Hello from the other side of the valley the hallway]

Are you coping?

[Clearly sarcasm].

[buff_dandelion]

Ah! Connie-chan! You too?!

[So much for asking roomie to help.]

Well, when I think about it, at least it's not as bad as it could be...

[Like thankfully they don't have a cat who would try to eat them.]

[connie_maheswaran]

Yes, me too. Trying to make the best of it though! In the process of folding up a paper plane to fly across to you!

...It's taken half an hour to fold, actually.

[buff_dandelion]

What's a paper plane? [Though it sounds like you make it by doing origami.]

[connie_maheswaran]

It's a plane you make (very rudimentary) by folding paper a few times and you usually throw it in class when you're bored in class.

[Not that she would really feel that way in school. This is Connie we're talking about].

In the meantime, how easily can you move around?

[buff_dandelion]

Wouldn't the sensei get mad if you throw things in class? [The some that she observed back in her world were pretty strict about those kinds of things.]

Um pretty easily, I guess, with the exception of not being able to get down. I've ran up and down the length of my bed several times already. I wonder if this is what it's like to be Issun-bōshi?

[connie_maheswaran]

Exactly. I didn't really do things like that. Kids my age range and some of them don't like school. I've never really felt that.

Oh, that's good! I know in my class I have the ability to fly, but I haven't learned it yet.

Issun-boshi?

[buff_dandelion]

Flying would be very cool and a very handy thing to have now. [She still need to practice more of her magic so that she could learn the extent of what she could do.]

Oh! Issun-bōshi is a character in tales. An old childless couple was blessed by the gods with a son. Only he was one inch tale. So he was tiny, like the way we are now!

[connie_maheswaran]

I'm still working on it! It's actually a bit harder than I thought.

How exactly did he deal with our situation?

[buff_dandelion]

He went on adventures. I think the story is also called "The Inch-High Samurai." So I'm not sure if his experience is going to help us in this situation.

[connie_maheswaran]

No, I guess not. Then again, we have magic, so we can probably do things he couldn't anyway!

How are you doing at it so far?

[buff_dandelion]

Um... So far, I can heal a little, and make plants grow. I need to practice more on purifying.

[connie_maheswaran]

Oh, right! You're a princess!

Who's training you?

[Missy is lounging quite luxuriously in her enormous bed, watching the show through her mirror.]

You've got a blanket, haven't you? Climb down.

[video]

[buff_dandelion]

But I'm not good at climbing and it's a long way down!

[Otherwise she would have done that already.]

[video]

[not_so_different]

Oh come on, it's not that hard. One hand below the other. Or you could just hold on and slide, that's always a good bit of fun. [She waved a dismissive hand at the arguments] Besides, there's carpeting, you'll just bounce a bit, you'll be fine.

Re: [video]

[buff_dandelion]

Doesn't sound that much fun to me.... And that carpet is still a long way down. [She still not sure if she really will bounce.]

[video]

[not_so_different]

[Missy made a face, frowning and tching]

Well aren't you the boring one, then. I suppose someone will volunteer to help you, kind saps the lot of them.

[voidalviera]

Oh my, Do... do you still need help?
[Rice is maybe giggling a bit, but this is adorable]

[buff_dandelion]

My roommate is making a "paper plane" to fly over to me. But I'm not sure what we'll do after that.
